We bought a new CNC Lathe - Nakamura AS200LMYS Media

Published: 8 years ago

We finally jumped in and decided it was time to upgrade our lathe to something that would compliment the Mori Seiki CNC milling machine. I've been lusting after these sorts of lathes for years! I'm beyond thrilled to finally be able to purchase one!

This video shows the first week of training that I got on the lathe while it was still powered up at the showroom at Elliott Matsuura. It's a 6 axis Nakamura AS200LMYS CNC lathe with live tools, a 24 station turret, Y axis, sub spindle, parts catcher, chip conveyor, 300psi high pressure coolant, and tons of other goodies! It's a dream machine. This will allow us to perfectly make all of the round components to our knives and also open up several other product lines that we've been wanting to do for years.
